Culinary hut tour to the Rübezahl-Alm, Jägerhütte and Hochschwendt.
Walk from the village center towards the Hartkaiserbahn. At the junction to the valley station, however, continue straight ahead uphill. Passing the "Bergdoktor-Praxis", the route leads through the district of Faistenbichl until you turn left onto the forest path towards Rübezahl-Alm and follow it up to the rustic alpine hut. Culinary delicacies and a fantastic view of the Wilder Kaiser round off the hike. If you have enough stamina, continue hiking uphill to the Jägerhütte, where you can enjoy the magnificent panorama on the sun terrace.
Return the same way until you reach the asphalt road. Here, a detour to the Berggasthof Hochschwendt with its popular cakes and Tyrolean specialties is worthwhile (additional approx. 1 hour walking time there and back). Leisurely make your way back down into the valley and to the village center of Ellmau.
